The wait is over! The new SmartThings app is now live. If you already have the SmartThings app, you’ll automatically receive an upgrade over the next hour or two. Your existing setup will continue to work as expected. There are some changes in the navigation, but it should be pretty straightforward. If have any confusion, this support article will help you find what you’re looking for, and of course we’re always available at support@smartthings.com.
If you have not downloaded SmartThings, this is a great time to check it out. The new app has an intuitive design and lots of great new features, including enhanced rooms and device views, and a rich new solution called Smart Home Monitor.
As far as rooms, I added an extra room I called admin, which is just where I stick all the virtual switches or virtual presence sensors or whatever I need to make other things work. But don’t really go with a particular room.
I absolutely love it! It works really well - seriously not drinking my own kool aid, but the video buffering prior to an incident is AMAZING. It really gives you a better perspective of what’s happening.
I love the new app. It seems like a lot of the screens take longer to load (i.e. going into a room can take 15-20 seconds to render). Is that just me and my crappy internet or is that something else?
You had to spoil it for me…: you always hit it at the right moment! I am going to hunt you down one day! here’s a good one for you! How come hue integration always works for @geko! Well @geko can always change colors!
You guys took away the ability to search for Smartapps. While the ability to find your installed Smartapps seems easier to find, the ability to find Smartapps that you want to install seems harder.
